Check out this restomod job on a old BMW. One hell of a job. http://www.boxerworks.com/phorum/rea...2&t=143988&v=f |

nor am i. i used to have a friend with a old BMW flat twin like that. and when we would go out riding together me and ther friends would always reach over at stoplights and pull the spark plug wires out. LOL Really though Hats off to the guy. He did a amazing job turning that hunk of crud into a beautiful retro cafe racer. | |

kinda funny, but i know of this guy. most bikers in KY participate in "thursday night rides" in the warmer months - and after riding we all end up @ Hooters. blank |
